“…In this study, three indicators gained the most weight, including the ability to adapt in a timely manner, the ability to accelerate the pace of hospital recovery functions and the ability to identify health systems problems. Extracted indicators in this study have also addressed hospital resilience from a managerial and functional view and have not explicitly referred to structural and non-structural resilience (Samsuddin et al , 2018). Shirali also used the resilience engineering approach in his study to evaluate hospital crisis management (Shirali et al , 2016).…”

Purpose Resilient hospitals have the vital role in reducing mortality, severity of injuries by providing required emergency services during accidents and disasters. This study aims to identify and prioritize key indicators on hospital resilience. Design/methodology/approach This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2019. The draft of the indicators obtained from the systematic review of the previous study was finalized, with three expert panel sessions and 14 experts in resilience fields. The outputs of these sessions were divided into three domains including constructive resilience, infrastructural resilience and administrative resilience, 17 sub-domains and 71 indicators. Then fuzzy analytic network process method was used to weight and prioritize the final indicators of hospital disaster resilience. Findings Administrative resilience, logistic and financial management and strategic outsourcing agreement allocated the highest weight as domain, sub-domains and indicators, respectively. The weight of each sub-domain and indicator was also determined. Originality/value Investigating the weight of domains, sub-domains and indicators shows the importance of managerial and operational issues in hospital resilience. By using the indicators and relative weights, a tool for measuring hospital disaster resilience can be created in further studies. The output of these assessments is effective in promoting safety and increasing awareness of hospital managers and health policymakers.

Hospitals are vital buildings that must always be guaranteed the building's resistance to earthquakes. The building must not suffer damage that endangers the safety of the lives of its users. The ceiling is one of the components of a hospital building that is most vulnerable to damage during an earthquake. The patient is not able to escape quickly, if the ceiling material is released and falls on the patient who is below it. This study aims to determine the relationship between the causes of ceiling damage and the level of ceiling damage in hospital buildings. Data were collected through field observations at 3 regional general hospitals and literature studies with relevant topics published in the period December 2017 to January 2021. From the literature review, 39 damage data were obtained in 28 regional general hospital buildings in Indonesia. Data were analyzed using quantitative research methods. From the result, there is a significant relationship between the level of damage to the ceiling and the cause of the damage. Seepage of water is the dominant cause of damage but earthquakes is the cause of fatal damage.

“…Communication is essential for the successful management of medical services and other essential services during disasters (Samsuddin et al, 2018). When all telephone lines, cellphones, and radio connections are lost, hospitals must have other alternatives to be able to communicate in the event of a disaster (Lapcevic et al, 2018).…”
